Another good point! I too have seen where the World Tree has combined trees with those on Ancestry, that should not be combined. Another good reason to check what's there before copying the data. AND I have a tree on RootsWeb that I guess got transferred from Ancestry, and I have no password or access to it to make changes! It's my tree, but I cannot get to it! Go figger! Maybe the secret is to NOT post our trees at all anywhere. I don't know, but it gets frustrating. And how do you make things right? The one case I mentioned previously was different though, it was a newbie just anxious to add as many names to their tree as fast as possible. She just didn't think there were two DIFFERENT John Wilhelms living in MD, so it had to be hers.

I have a tree on Ancestry.com that I did not put there - when Ancestry took over RootsWeb, it took my tree I had posted on World Connect. I discovered this when I was looking for some info on my husband's family and thought I had found parents et ancestors for his one great grandmother that was one of my brick walls. I started to copy the info so I could check it out, when suddenly I noticed her parents were born several years after her death! No relation at all! I feel that Ancestry's computers combined this! I have found similar errors since that time. My tree that Ancestry posted is a couple of years old and has many errors that I have since corrected, but it is not changed on Ancestry! susie ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2009 15:28:32 -0500 From: "Marge" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [MDALLEGA] Excellent Point Made!

They have them on a tree as being the parents of our original ancestor WHO WAS BORN 1737....can you beat that. And they won't change it. ------------------------------ To contact the MDALLEGA list administrator, send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
